Organisation

The Belgian Open 2010 is a Rubik's Cube competition organised by Lars Vandenbergh and volunteers.

With this competition we hope to attract a lot of local cubers and give them a chance to compete, but we also warmly invite competitors who come from abroad to give this event an international flavor.

During the championship the official WCA regulations will be applied. Results of the championship will be added to the official WCA World Rankings

Before the competition starts all competitors can practice on the official timing equipment: the Stackmat timer. All puzzle brands may be used during the competition, as long as the puzzles comply with the WCA regulations.

Location

The venue for this competition is:

Youth Hostel De Blauwput
Martelarenlaan 11A
3010 Leuven
Belgium

The youth hostel is located 100m from the train station and city center of Leuven. The competition will take place in The Resto Room on the ground floor of the youth hostel.

Leuven has regular train connections from other Belgian train stations and there is a direct train from Brussels airport to Leuven which takes about 15 min.

Leuven is very accesible by car and is situated 25 km East of Brussels, right next to the E40 and E314 highways.
